| [Poll] Hex Editors - 2008 Member Choice A hex editor (or binary file editor or byte editor) is a type of computer program that allows a user to manipulate binary (normally non-plain text) computer files. Hex editors that were designed to edit sector data from floppy or hard disks were sometimes called sector editors or disk editors.
By using a hex editor,a user can see or edit the raw and exact contents of a file as opposed to the interpretation of the same content that other,higher level application software may associate with the file format. For example,this could be raw image data,in contrast to the way image editing software would interpret the same file.

Flemington, NJ | Another vote for UltraEdit. It's fast, easy, has a ton of useful features. Been using it for years and wouldn't be without it in my toolbox. It just gets better with every release. | |

| Voted "other." I use an older version of Hex Workshop. I like its ability to edit absolute sectors.
I also use Notepad++ (with the hex editor plugin).
Thanks for the poll. | |

| Other: I use the SPF Editor. SPF is pre-PC software which originally was run on IBM mainframes. It has the only editor I know of where you can manipulate lines of text (move, copy, delete, etc.) by typing commands in a prefix area on each line. It also has very powerful find/replace commands. | |

2 edits | Visual SlickEdit v8. I especially like the fact that the same UI is used on both *nix and Windows. I have a couple of web pages I support and the are on a Solaris box. Also, since it came from the IBM e line of in-house editors, it has similar block and line manipulation functions as the SPF series mentioned above. | |

Mesa, AZ | I use Crimson Editor for text/source, but Frhed for actual hex editing. I particularly like the adjustable width of the hex display and the price (free).

| Another vote for UltraEdit. I've been using it since version 1 (a long, long time ago). I don't think I would know how to get along without it anymore.
